on a mission
ALT: sort of Thurber-esque ink painting of a wizard going someplace accompanied by a cat at his feet and a flying owl. A crescent moon and a single star overhead. The wizard is of course identifiable by his pointy hat, blue robes, and flowing beard. And red socks.
free of the thicket
ALT: acrylic painting, abstract sort-of landscape. The sky and ground layer of the painting is a warm reddish yellow. There’s tangled foliage, dense on the lower left side, somewhat more open in the right, with something vertical growing up, I guess it could be tree trunks. The upper left corner is above all the tangle, and there are two red birds flying up there.
walking through the garden
ALT: Watercolor background which is mostly an exploration of textures and colors, green foliage, blue and purple shadows, yellow and orange flowers. It’s kind of a bit of lawn with maybe a hedge above and drifts of blooms from the right side. On that ground, as if in a different reality, there are 3 odd calligraphic stick figures, apparently a couple and one more trailing behind. The garden just wanted to be inhabited, I thought.
pilings
ALT: four stout but somewhat bent and leaning posts stick up out of water. A stream of spots float on the water like petals and then up into the sky to disappear in the clouds.
a moment of pointed serenity
ALT: ink and crayon drawing. Three chicory-blue flowers with pointy petals stand in a group among stems and leaves. There’s a little snail on a leaf. The background is plain washes of pale peach and blues.
It’s spring and all, but also I recently heard that someone in my pub-sing community is very ill, and he has a humorous song about rabbits that he occasionally trots out. He’s been on my mind and maybe it’s showing.
ALT: water-soluble crayon and graphite drawing of a rabbit among leaves and grasses, looking poised to take off. There’s something that could be a stone or an egg sitting right behind it.
peepers heard from afar
ALT: crayon drawing with vertical green and blue streaks, some darker green vertical lines with something like scrubby pine needle or birchbark cross-hatching. Black spiky branches in front of all that.
centaur
ALT: pencil and crayon drawing. A rather abstracted creature in while lines has a horse’s hind end and rather humanoid front half. The ground is green below, blue above, and pretty fiery red and gold between. On top of it all is a five-sided angular glyph that could be read as arrow-like if you’re thinking Sagittarius.
spheres of influence
a prayer for sweet sleep
ALT: Crayon and graphite drawing. A green cat-like creature is curled up in an enfolding basket-like shape, with a red-pink pillow under them. Ragged stars in a dark blue sky up above.
